Experienced! Has yard and fence!

Pet care experience

I am a huge animal person! My husband and I adopted our first dog almost 2 years ago and she is the light of our lives! I will care for your precious pup or cat as if they are my own. Friends and neighbors often ask me to care for their pets when they’re out of town, and my long list of pet sitting experience includes pups named Rocky, Lily, Buddy and Sarabelle. I am a caring and gentle individual with a soft spot for furry friends. I would love to help your pet feel loved until you return!

Rachael did a wonderful job of caring for our cats. She was always prompt and she sent us update pictures at every visit. I would highly recommend her!

Rachael is a gentle, loving, and fun soul!! Her being a nurse carries over completely to how she cares for all animals. She is so compassionate. I would trust her with my dog any day!

Rachael loves dogs more than anyone I know. In fact, she recently decided to room with someone on the basis that her to-be-roommate had a dog. Furthermore, she is very responsible particularly when others are depending on her. She's also a practicing nurse so she has the skills to take care of your dog in the case of a medical emergency, performing CPR or giving an IV if necessary.

Information Rachael Z. would like to know about your pet

It would be helpful to know of any health or behavioral issues, quirks, etc ahead of time. Also if there is a specific activity you would like to do with them or anything to avoid (are they reactive around other dogs? Impulsive if we pass a piece of pizza laying on the ground?)

A typical day

I am happy to do whatever activities your dog is accustomed to: walk around the neighborhood, fetch, tug-of-war, cuddles, pets, belly scratches, play dates, etc. Every dog is different!
